e°azzalz MAYOR Bill L3lcsener COUNCIL Rick Montour Barbara Allan John Keis Michael McGraw 515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 ADMINISTRATOR (651) 766 -4029 / FAX: (651) 766 -4048 Joel R. Hanson www.ei.little- canada.mn.us MEMORANDUM To: Mayor Blesener & Members of City Council From: Bill Dircks, Public Works Superintendent Date: May 17, 2007 Re: Crack Sealing For the past several years the City has partnered with the City of Vadnais Heights on crack sealing of city streets. Vadnais Heights takes care of obtaining quotes and lining up the contractor for the work. This year we have about 23,500 linear feet of road to crack seal and the Parks Dept. will be crack sealing the bituminous trails located throughout the City. It is estimated that this work will require up to 14,000 lbs. of rubber to seal the cracks. That number is only an estimate as there is no really solid way to measure how much product will be required to seal all cracks. Quotes were received from 3 companies: Bargen Inc. at $1.19 per lb., Bergman Companies, Inc. at $1.24 per lb., and Northwest Asphalt Maintenance, Inc. at $0.89 per lb. It is the recommendation of Vadnais Heights and Little Canada staff that the Council approve the quote from Northwest Asphalt Maintenance, Inc. of $0.89 per lb. Northwest Asphalt did the crack sealing in the City for quite a few years up until Last year when they had a change in ownership and couldn't perform the service. They have always done acceptable work and the new owners are former employees of the company so they are familiar with the City.
